Those ancient tombs were creepy, and I wouldn't like a bunch of mice chasing me!!! O.O That poor man, Louis Otero... And it seems Scooby had fell in love many times huh? I have heard for that festivity of Dead. It is so interesting to learn new things about other countries through such a nice anime!! Scooby dooby DOO!!!! Like although I couldn't suspect Charlene, I knew right from the begging from her way, that that "luck" mentalion was to track them and for the monster to attack!!! Eww... Smileys and Charlene's accents are so Americanish... yikes... Nice movie! Really!

I felt that this movie was weaker in comparison to "Legend Of The Vampire". The plot overall was much less interesting and it was less "retro" than its predecessor. The saving graces for this were Heather North and Nicole Jaffe. Yet again, they were absolutely perfect and knew what they with their characters. They still were very much identifiable as their respective characters. I still enjoyed this movie for what it was, and it gave me more of the classic Scooby vibe, which is always appreciated! It's a shame WB got rid of Scott Jeralds, he certainly knew what he was doing with the series and having more retro movies featuring Heather North and Nicole Jaffe would been nice. I wonder why they never returned anyway... I feel that this was the last good DTV movie WB has ever produced. The newer one just pale in comparison to the original six.

I had this on VHS as a kid, so you can say I grew up with it. I loved Pako the parrot, and Chupacabra has been always giving me the chills!!!

Aside from a serious case of did not do the research, this was a decent move. Not the best but not terrible.

You know, I was re-watching the movie this week (Halloween and Day of the Dead, you know!) and I have a theory on why the Chupacabra was drastically changed. I'm sure many of us remember how the classic pre-Scrappy Scooby-Doo episodes would often change the ghost or monster of the week from its' original source or legend, as the Hanna-Barbera writers often wouldn't do the research. And since this movie was wholly emulating those pre-Scrappy cartoons (complete with Nicole Jaffe as Velma and the late Heather North as Daphne) it's possible they decided to intentionally do that with the Chupacabra as an in-joke. Had this been done as an episode of "What's New, Scooby-Doo" or similar movie (i.e. the 2004-2009 movies), then they probably would've gone for a more realistic portrayal of the Chupacabra (as that reptilian canine thing), since that show and those movies were meant to be much more realistic, while "Monster of Mexico" emulates the cartoony nature of the older shows. Regarding the Chupacabra, while the Wiki says Frank Welker did the voice, I believe the reason he wasn't credited for the role was because they just used those old stock monster roaring and growling sound effects Welker recorded for H-B in the 70s, and they are included on the Hanna-Barbera SoundFX Library CD set, which Hacienda Post obviously made heavy use of on this movie. With that said, Hacienda Post is pretty good at emulating the Hanna-Barbera atmosphere, as they also demonstrated with "The Flintstones on the Rocks" and the 2001-2003 "Dexter's Laboratory" episodes. A shame this was the only direct-to-video Scooby-Doo movie they worked on; they're a pretty good sound-editing team and can be quite versatile.

This movie was an alright watch. The monster design wasn't really that memorable( I mean who thought a purple bigfoot was a good choice). I think the setting was nice and enjoyed the Day of the Dead aspect. Which they would've used the holiday more for the atmosphere and found away to have the holiday play a significant role in the story.
Nicole Jaffe and Heather North reprising their roles was a nice touch and made this film a lot better. This movie was less retro compared to Legend of the Vampire, which is one of my favorite movies from Scooby Doo. Music for this was also kinda meh and not that memorable.
Overall this was an alright movie. Loved the return of Nicole Jaffe and Heather North and the moving having that classic Scooby vibe. Wasn't a huge fan of the monster and the music was not very memorable.

For me it's one of the worst Scooby Doo movies. Not as bad as Goblin King, Samurai Sword, Pirates Ahoy! or Frankencreepy, but it's horribly bland. The Gang behaves like a bunch of robots with their wooden, overstretched and oversimplified dialogues. The mystery wasn't very original, the Chupacabra's design looks outrageously wrong, and argh, that robot parrot and these stupid scenes in the ancient city. It's especially underwhelming, because it was created just 2 years after the Cyber Chase - the last of the great Mook Animation era movies. Definitely Scooby Don't.
